They both spin on an axis.
the planet has moons or satellites orbiting around it. By observing the orbital motion of the moons, scientists can calculate the mass of the planet based on the laws of gravity and motion.
In planetary terms, when referring to the motion of planets and moons etc. the motion is describes as orbiting. Moons are on orbit around planets, while the planets are in orbit around the sun. An orbital motion.
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Moons are larger, obviously.
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Moons are satellites of planets.

Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.

planets have moons for day and night
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
yes moons are satellites to other planets
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
